The Giants have three games left and little to play for outside of the chance to finish .500.

With such motivation at a premium, Tom Coughlin and a few players were asked if playing Seattle on Sunday might help. The Seahawks are one of the two best teams in the NFL.

On one hand, there's Victor Cruz's opinion. Beating a team that looks primed for a deep run in the playoffs might hurt even more.

“If we beat that team, it would kind of make it more disappointing because we didn’t take advantage of playing like this all year long,” Cruz said. “Obviously it would just put a smile on our face and have us know that when we play at our best, we can beat any team in the league.”

On the other, there's Coughlin, who has talked about regaining respectability over the final three games.

"I don’t think there’s any question about the fact that we’ll be motivated because of the nature of the team that’s coming in here," he said. "We’ll be excited to play against the Seahawks and we’ll be excited to prepare. I just think it’s again… We try to be excited and motivated and inspired for every team and that’s been the case… I was telling the team today, six out of the last seven weeks, physically, competitively and every way we’ve done a reasonably good job on the field and we’ve gained respect and so on and so forth. We felt good about ourselves.

"We didn’t play well yesterday, but that’s not going to change the way in which we approach each game and, yes, we’re excited to host this outstanding Seahawk team and to prepare for them and it is no doubt a tremendous gauge for our team or for any team playing against a team that has the record and has accomplished what the Seahawks have."

What about you guys? At this point, would beating a Seahawks team with plenty to play for provide any solace, or is it all about the draft pick?
